KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN.

Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid.
The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING.
Call retiring Senators too!
It's concensus opinion among Dem party rank and file, that our leaders lack courage, bravery and refuse to act in accordance with the reality of the moment. If lose/lose, vote to obstruct Trump wrecking crew by closing the government for as long as it takes. Shutdown will not matter by Nov-26

Crude oil is currently trading below $70bl and gas is $2.99/gl. Drilling more oil into global supply would create a glut, driving prices lower. Producers will never allow that to happen.

For health insurance is a parasite on our Healthcare system as it adds no value nor results in better outcomes. They make money by shifting costs to the insured by denying care or raising premiums and copays.

Seems Joe is happy to leave us to it.

They run them bc people react to them the most.
If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.

Joe was running for re-election when he said that he wouldn't pardon Hunter. Circumstances have changed (America electing a convicted felon) and so to has Joe's decision. Considering Trump has vowed to pardon J6 terrorists I think those clutching their pearls over Bidens pardon for his son can STFU

I'll wait until you're finished being mad at Joe pardoning Hunter for being his son.
Any loving father in Joe's position would do the exact same thing. Hunter has been persecuted by GOP, publically humiliated and only charged w/bullshit crimes because his dad was President from opposing party. He paid his debt to IRS and got rid of gun, nobody was harmed by Hunter's addict decisions

540 members of congress all vying for piece of pie to send back home.
Musk DOGE goal to cut $2T is little more than smokescreen to further rig the game in favor of billionares and transfer what wealth the bottom 90% have left to themselves, the top 1%.
Reg agencies are there to protect us from them.
GOV'T IS NOT A BUSINESS as it makes no product or value added service nor makes a profit. Its a "pass through" which takes in taxes and fees then redistribute based on constitutional mandates and nations priorities. Its not designed to be efficient as duplications, redundant built throughout.

Trumps win is illegitimate and next 4yrs will be spent with Putin as his co-President.
My friends who are pinning their hopes on Republicans in congress to "stand up to Trump" or put country over party haven't been paying attention for last 8yrs. After J6, Senate failure to convict, GOP nomination and America re-electing a felon, to see a reality other than one were in is delusional.
